Decennial Census Data
CDRPC serves as a connective link between the Census Bureau and the Capital District. The Census Bureau selects partners in an effort to raise awareness and work with communities to help improve the Census. To help improve the Census, CDRPC shares the Census Bureaus proposed Census Tract and Block Group changes with municipalities, who then can make their own suggestions which CDRPC can help translate into GIS. This ensures that data is divided into the most accurate possible tracts and boundaries to ensure that communities are counted correctly.

Community Fact Sheets
CDRPC’s Community Fact Sheets previously provided data and location maps for each county, city, town, and village in the Capital District region. We have since transitioned to Capital region Indicators, a more dynamic and comprehensive tool for tracking key trends over time. For older iterations of Community Fact Sheets, click the link below.
Capital Region Indicators offer interactive visualizations and in-depth data on demographics, economy, housing, environment, and infrastructure, providing a clearer picture of the region’s evolving landscape.
